WHO FOUND MARSHMALLOW?

The answer to the question of who found the marshmallow can be given in two ways. The first is how it is found in the traditional way and the other is how it is produced in its modern form.

If we first look at its production in its modern form, it goes back to the 19th century. Candy manufacturers in France have slightly improved the chamallow recipe. It obtained a confectionery close to the product consumed today. The French used to coat the confectionery with rose water while obtaining this product. He was also called Pate Guimauve. Although this confection was popular, its production was labor intensive.

In 1948, an American entrepreneur discovered a new technique in the production of marshmallows. This method allowed the production of chamalow to be produced automatically as cylindrical.

Traditionally, this confectionery called marshmallow was actually used as a medicine. It was produced with the substance obtained from the root of the plant called marshmallow. This substance was white in color and looked like gelatin. It was consumed against conditions such as sore throat. The words marsh and mallow also refer to the vegetable origin of the product. When these two words come together, the phrase marsh mallow appears.
